Hi IC
this is my third run, I'm running a 150W Hps and a 110W Pll, with 1 liter pots (1/4 gal), 12/12 from clone.
It's basically a Dr Bud style SOG, with an hps in VERT position for final stages and plls to keep plants short in first stages. These and other ideas that follow in this thread come all from threads on IC or elsewhere.
First two grows I run a combination of mostly 2.5 liter pots, and a few 1 liter, and now this is the first run with small pots only. I've been hitting 40g /month until now, that would be 120g in three months on 260W, so not that much.
I already know that SCROG as well as other methods yeld more, but I'm curious to see what I can hit with this setup first.
SETUP:
- 150W HPS
- HPS digital ballast 150W
- 110W PLLs from SJ, 2 x 55W (I use one warm and one white bulbs)
- analog timer
- hygro/thermo digital (my temps top 30-31 °c, with 23-24°C low, and humidity is always between 30-40%)
- 1liter pots (number vary)
- DP90 tent (2x3x2' H) 60x90x60cm height
- 15cm inline extractor with 15cm, 1 meter cable. Passive intake covered with cardboard boxes
- 20cm desk fan on the floor, in the middle, blowing upwards
SOIL: Plagron Light mix (allows me to start ferting the 3rd week)
LUIQUID PH TEST from GHE
FERTS:
I only use 1/2 strenght (2ml/l - 1/4gal) or 1/3 strenght of Bionova organic all soil mix, from the third week until flush.
and 1/2 (0,5 ml/l - 1/4gal) or 1/3 strenght of Bloombastic, when they show hair.
I water with plain water every two feedings, or one if I've been heavy handed : )
I use a drop or two per liter (1/4 gal) of superthirve, every two feedings.
Sometimes I use molasses, blackshard, instead of the Bloombastic.
A complete scheme of my feedings are linked to in my sig, second run, first page. Log stops when it gets redundant...
I PH water to 6.5 with a carbon active Keg all the time, and I flush for 10 days/2 weeks on average.
PC for Mothers:
I have a PC for mothers, with two 20W cfls and a 12cm fan exhaust. Now there are only two wappa mothers (diff phenos).
As a CLONER, I've used party cups but now I'm trying with one container for all the cuttings, so that I change the water once.
Inside there's water with 1/4 strenght ferts and a couple drops of superthrive. But I haven't understood if plain water is better or not. Many say so.
I have a 50% rate of rooting, luckily I get a lot of cuttings from the nanomoms...

NOTE: last two runs were posted in the vert section, I'm moving to micro because my setup is micro, it's just got the lamp that's vert and has nothing to do with the monstrous setups they got there.
C ya!
